I'm going to buy it, read it, then pass it around my book club. We are all pretty serious readers and I think it might be of use.

And what an apt last name for the author, hehe I was wondering about that - do you think it's a pen name?

I looked in Wikipedia, which usually says their real names, if different. But it didn't give any other names. The article was very short though, so not the most reliable source.

I guess it's real. This is what I found:
Born April 1, 1947, in Brooklyn, NY; daughter of Philip (a physician) and Jessie (a physician; maiden name, Rubin) Prose
